Traffic: Construction work on the "Ostwall" begins

Extensive construction work will begin on the "Ostwall" from April 25, 2022. In addition to work on supply lines of the Bocholt public utility company, sidewalks and bike paths will be widened on both sides, new pedestrian and cyclist crossings will be created across the Ostwall, and a green strip will be added.

The work is divided into several construction phases.

They will start in the area of the sidewalk and bike path from "Schonenberg" in the direction of the Ostwall / Münsterstraße / Osterstraße / Theodor-Heuss-Ring intersection. The inner carriageway of the four lanes of the inner ring road will be closed in this first construction phase for an estimated 4 weeks. The direction of travel Osterstraße/Theodor-Heuss-Ring/Münsterstraße will be maintained.

After completion of the first construction phase, the construction area will move to the opposite side of the Innenstadtring in front of the Ostwallterrassen. During the measure, the outer of the four lanes will not be passable. The junction of Augustastrasse with Ostwall will be closed as civil engineering work is taking place here and a new traffic light is being installed across Ostwall.

Detour for bicycle and vehicle traffic will be signposted.

The extensive measure is part of the mobility concept of the city of Bocholt with the aim of further promoting pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

The entire construction project is expected to end in November 2022.
